Gran Turismo 5

why is this so difficult????

I dunno but its kinda funny.

My guess is that there were several things put in place mainly shipping/manufacturing slots that were all set in place until the game got delayed and now Sony is having to do everything on the fly so even they don't know when they'll be able to get the games to stores.

Oh and Nurburgring at night confirmed

I am just afraid they spent so much time on so many tiny little graphical details that 90% of us wont even notice them.

Its pretty much they want to drop at the peak shopping season. Because Sony has no other flagship game coming out due to LBP2 being pushed back to 2011.

None of the problems are because they had to code(maybe 6 months ago but not anymore) or they didn't get the disc printed in time...all that is BS IMHO. Just look at all what is being offered accross each platform and you will see GT5 is the only game that Sony has to combat with this silly season.

SonyStyle.com is showing a December 9th release date. I don't know how much truth that may hold though.

From NeoGaf

It also appears we may be looking at a November 30th release date as people (on GTPlanet) are posting links left and right of different retailers/sites that have changed to that release date.

I was just reminded of this today, GT5 and LBP2 were supposed to be the big PS3 exclusives this holiday and both got delayed.

I'll believe the release of this game when I see it.

Justin McElroy from Joystiq joked on their podcast the other day that it would be hilarious if a fifth Forza came out before this game.

555,000 Copies of GT5 for France, New Launch Party Date
Gran Turismo 5 November 6th, 2010 by Jordan

I don’t have any specific updates about the GT5 disc revealed yesterday, but that hasn’t stopped quite a few interesting tidbits from bubbling up around the world. First up, word from “distribution sources” indicate more than half a million copies of Gran Turismo 5 are headed to France. More specifically, there will be 450,000 standard copies, 100,000 Collector’s Editions, and 5,000 Signature Editions available in the country. (Amazon.fr is still taking SE reservations, so hop on that if you’re interested.)

Also, GT5’s big Madrid launch party has a new date of November 24th/25th. As you may recall, the launch party was first scheduled for October 26th/27th. Considering the party was to be held exactly one week before the game’s intended worldwide launch, a release during the week of November 29th – December 3rd is beginning to look extremely likely. This release window aligns perfectly with what I’ve been told before and Sony’s own retail outlet, SonyStyle, who lists a launch date “on or around” November 30th for the game. Regardless, it’s becoming clear we don’t have much longer to wait.

Well well.......I go and look on amazon today and now they have extra orders to fill in for the CE. Amazing how an extra couple weeks increases inventory and potential sales.

Someone already got their hands on the game apparantly and posted video...
